Which of the following preamps?


Looking to purchase a tube preamp either used or new at around 700.

I looked around Audiogon and found a few:

Audio Experience Symphonies Plus - 690
Sonic Frontier SFL1 - 750
Conrad-Johnson PV11-L - 625
A variety of used Audio Research LS for about 700 or more
Audio Miror T61 - 699

There are really quite a few out there so hopefully I can get some feedback from you.

Hi there,
I'm using an Audio Mirror T61 - had a problem initially due to a wire that had come loose in shipping.Probably been using the box for football practice!
This is a fabulous little amp for the money and imo it competes with kit 3x the price. Lose the Sovtek valves - I replaced these with NOS RCAs and it's hard to fault.
I have a Supratek Syrah coming but will be very surprised if it beats the T61 by a huge margin (saying that I hope it does but can't see what it can do better, except maybe a bit tighter/deeper bass)
The auto muting when changing inputs is a real bonus and if it matters at all, it's looks are always a conversation piece.

Try a Tube Audio Design 150 for about $800... Check out the reviews here on A-gon... It has a phono section...
